Some more reaction from Australian politicians to the US supreme court overturning Roe v Wade.

Melbourne man critically wounded after car peppered with bullets

A man shot and critically wounded when a car was peppered with bullets in Melbourne’s northern suburbs is believed to be a former member of the Mongols outlaw bikie gang, AAP reports.

Former Mongols bikie Suleiman “Sam” Abdulrahim was driving a Mercedes 4WD when he was gunned down on Saturday, the Age reported.

Abdulrahim was driven to Fawkner police station before being taken to the hospital in a critical condition.

The gunmen fled in a Mazda SUV before losing control, crashing into a fire hydrant and pole on Box Forest Road, near Sydney Road, police said.

They then carjacked a Ford Territory, forcing a woman and child from the vehicle before escaping.

Abdulrahim remains in critical condition at the Royal Melbourne hospital.

Investigators believe the shooting was a targeted attack.

Witnesses or anyone with CCTV or dash cam footage or with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers.

Omicron variant likely to be dominant Covid strain in Victoria

The Omicron strain BA.4/BA.5 is likely to become the dominant strain of Covid-19 in Victoria, the health department has said.

The prevalence of the strain in metropolitan and regional wastewater catchments has increased significantly in recent weeks, after first being identified in catchments in April. It is expected to overtake the BA.2 strain.

It is expected to result in an increase in cases, reinfections, and hospital admissions.

The health department said:

This is in line with similar patterns in NSW and Queensland. In NSW, BA.4/BA.5 represented over one third of Covid-19 variants in isolates from people testing positive by PCR by 11 June. In Queensland, BA.4/BA.5 is expected to become dominant in the next two weeks. Both states have seen a significant rise in the number of people hospitalised with Covid-19 during June.

The Department of Health anticipates the prevalence of BA.4/BA.5 in Victoria is likely to result in an increase in cases – including reinfections – and hospital admissions. This is because the strain has a greater ability than BA.2 to evade immunity provided by vaccination and earlier Covid-19 infection.

There is no evidence at this stage that the BA.4/BA.5 sub-lineage causes more severe disease, but the department is closely monitoring the situation.

Of the 24 Covid-19 deaths reported in Victoria today, there were people aged in their 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s, the health department has said.

US abortion ruling ‘really disappointing’, Australia’s minister for women says

Earlier today, minister for women Katy Gallagher said the decision by the US supreme court to overturn Roe v Wade was “really disappointing”. She told the Today show:

I think after so many years fighting to maintain rights and to have access to safe and legal abortion clearly this is going to be a very, very divisive issue in America.

It will disproportionately affect poor women, women from socially disadvantaged backgrounds.

Gallagher said history has shown abortions will always take place, no matter the law:

I would argue they should take place in a legal and safe way so, yes, I can see why people are out on the streets today in America.

Jacinda Ardern says US abortion decision is ‘incredibly upsetting’

New Zealand’s prime minister, Jacinda Ardern, has described as “incredibly upsetting” a decision in the United States to wind back women’s reproductive rights, AAP reports.

The US supreme court on Friday voted to end constitutional protections allowing the right to abortion that have been in place for almost 50 years, since the famous 1973 Roe v Wade decision.

The move, which was carried by six votes to three in America’s highest court, is expected to lead to bans on abortion in about half the nation’s 50 states.

Ardern compared the move with New Zealand’s 2020 decriminalisation of abortion. She said:

Watching the removal of a woman’s fundamental right to make decisions over their own body is incredibly upsetting.

Here in New Zealand we recently legislated to decriminalise abortion and treat it as a health rather than criminal issue.

That change was grounded in the fundamental belief that it’s a woman’s right to choose.

• Correction: this post was amended on Tuesday 28 January. A previous version incorrectly stated the overturning of Roe v Wade was decided by five votes to four

Fina bans artistic swimmer who fainted in pool from final

Anita Alvarez, the US Olympian artistic swimmer, said yesterday she was feeling better after dramatically fainting and sinking to the bottom of the pool, before being rescued by her coach.

But Fina, the water sports federation, has decided that’s not good enough. She won’t be allowed to compete in tonight’s women’s team free final (it’s scheduled for midnight, AEST).

In a statement, Fina said:

Earlier today Fina convened a meeting that included three representatives of Fina’s sports medicine committee, the Fina executive director, the Team USA doctor, the Team USA team leader and the president of USA Artistic Swimming.

The meeting lasted an hour. Following these discussions, Fina determined that Anita Alvarez should not compete today.

The health and safety of athletes must always come first. While Fina understands why this decision will have been disappointing to the athlete, it was a decision that was made with her best interests in mind. Fina is delighted that Anita Alvarez has already made such a strong recovery, and looks forward to seeing her in competition again soon.

Penny Wong to travel to Vietnam and Malaysia

The foreign minister, Penny Wong, has announced she will travel to Vietnam and Malaysia from tomorrow.

She says:

Australia’s future is tied to the future of south-east Asia, a region we share.

It’s more than geography that binds us – we have genuine links in Vietnam and Malaysia: family, business, education and tourism.

My visit seeks to deepen these ties, building on our existing partnerships for the benefit of our countries and the region.

It’s important we work closely together to capitalise on shared economic opportunities, strengthen regional security, and address climate change.

In Vietnam I will meet with President Nguyen Xuan Phuc, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh and Foreign Minister Bùi Thanh Sõn.

Ahead of next year’s 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations, our discussions will focus on climate change cooperation, our shared trade and investment ambitions and Australia’s continued support for Vietnam’s Covid-19 recovery.

On 28 July, the foreign minister will go to Malaysia, where she will also visit Sabah, the region Wong is originally from:

On the 28th, I will travel on to Malaysia, where I look forward to meeting Minister for Foreign Affairs Dato’ Sri Saifuddin bin Abdullah, as well as Defence Minister Dato’ Seri Hishammuddin Hussein and Minister for International Trade and Investment, Dato’ Seri Azmin Ali.

I will reaffirm our commitment as Comprehensive Strategic Partners and discuss economic recovery, climate action, education ties and health security.

I will also travel to Sabah. It’s a region with longstanding ties to Australia, and it’s the region where I am from. Having spent my early years in Kota Kinabalu, I look forward to the great honour of returning to the city as Australia’s foreign minister.

Victorian government unveils frontbench it will take to state election

Here’s the full report on the Victorian Labor caucus vote via AAP.

The Victorian government has unveiled the frontbench it expects to take to the November state election and crowned a new deputy premier.

The transport infrastructure minister, Jacinta Allan, will replace James Merlino as deputy premier, one of four senior Labor ministers to announce their retirement and step down from cabinet on Friday.

Labor MPs Lizzie Blandthorn, Colin Brooks, Steve Dimopoulos, Sonya Kilkenny and Harriet Shing will fill the ministerial vacancies, although their exact responsibilities are not yet finalised.

Maree Edwards was elected to replace Brooks as speaker, while Natalie Suleyman will become deputy speaker.

The changes were unanimously backed by the Victorian Labor caucus during a meeting at Parliament House on Saturday.

The premier, Daniel Andrews, said the new ministry will be sworn in at Government House on Monday and the exact allocation of portfolios could be announced as early as Saturday.

First non-stop flight from Australia to continental Europe set to depart

Stir crazy Australians celebrating the end to travel restrictions will be able to take a direct flight from Perth to Rome, AAP reports.

The new route, operating from Saturday night, is the first non-stop flight from Australia to continental Europe on offer.

The Western Australian premier, Mark McGowan, will join the Qantas boss, Alan Joyce, on the inaugural flight to Rome.

“(This) represents an incredible milestone for Western Australia,” he says.

The carrier says the route was opened up after the success of its direct Perth to London flight which started in 2018.

Travellers are demanding more point-to-point travel than ever in the wake of lockdowns and border closures, Qantas says.

The WA tourism minister, Roger Cooke, says it is a “historic moment” for his state with hopes it will drive a massive boost to local tourism and hospitality industries.

Qantas has already flagged it will open routes to Johannesburg and Jakarta from Perth later this year.

The airline has been grappling with a surge in travel demand as Australians look to reconnect with the world.

Airports and airlines are already warning commuters of what may be in store for them as school holidays start across the country.

But they’re hoping to avoid a repeat of the travel chaos that gripped airports at Easter with airlines putting on more staff, including customer service personnel and pilots.

Teenager dies after being stabbed in northern NSW

A teenager is dead following a stabbing in northern NSW, AAP reports.

Police say the still to be identified victim, thought to be a 17-year-old boy, was found suffering stab wounds at a home in Casino around 1.30am on Saturday.

He was treated by paramedics but died at the scene.

The residence is to undergo forensic examination, while a search of the surrounding area has been conducted with help from the dog unit and local police.

The homicide squad will also assist with the case, with initial inquiries suggesting the incident was targeted.

The boy’s death follows that of a 50-year-old man involved in a physical altercation at South Grafton, on the state’s north coast, on Friday morning.

Police say a 64-year-old man arrested at the scene will face court charged with manslaughter.

Emergency services were called to Phoenix Close following reports of a neighbour dispute shortly after 9.30am.

On arrival, they found the man unresponsive and suffering head injuries.

He was treated by ambulance paramedics but was unable to be revived.

The accused man was expected to appear in Port Macquarie local court on Saturday.

Updated

Finally Andrews is asked if he is concerned about the institutional knowledge leaving with the four ministers resigning ahead of the state election.

He says it has been “an orderly, professional, seamless process” to replace the ministers and they’ll be building experience, skills and knowledge:

So, of course, there is a lot of experience, but there is also a lot of depth in this team and I’m proud to think that just like the cabinet, the senior leadership group, the coordinating ministers’ group, is now more than 50% women. We’ve got a much more diverse cabinet as a result of these decisions that have been made. Of course I pay tribute to all of those who were leaving yesterday, and that was right to do because they are outstanding people, but they are being replaced by equally outstanding people as well.

Updated

Andrews is asked if he discussed a handover with Allan at all. He says “not at all”:

We are focused – every single member of my team is focused, all of us, on doing the things we said we would do over the next five months and putting a positive and optimistic plan to the Victorian community.

Those who know me know I’ve never taken the Victorian community for granted. Never taken any vote, any seat, any contest for granted. The state election will be very close. They always are. It is a handful of votes and a handful of seats.

We will put forward a positive, optimistic plan and give Victorians the choice: Keep building, keep the place strong, make it fairer, create jobs, or go a different way – and closures and all the risks involved in that. But that’s not a choice for me, that’s a choice for the Victorian community.

My job, our job together, all of us, is to put forward that optimistic and positive plan, and that’s what we are focused on. We don’t take that outcome for granted. We simply don’t. We never have, we never will.

Daniel Andrews announces new ministry appointments

The Victorian premier, Daniel Andrews, is speaking in Melbourne about the new appointments to his ministry, after Labor caucus voted today.

He says he will make announcements about portfolios later today or tomorrow, with the new ministry sworn in on Monday.

He welcomed the appointment of Jacinta Allan as deputy premier:

Jacinta is someone who came into the parliament in 1999, one of the very youngest MPs in the history of our parliament, and right through her long career, she has been a champion for regional Victorians, Bendigo and has made a such a huge contribution to building our state, to employing hundreds of thousands of Victorians to getting things down. That’s why, I think together with her work ethic and her character, that’s why her colleagues, all of them, have unanimously supported her today. She has big shoes to fill, of course.

James Merlino, not only our friend, but no one could have asked for a better deputy than James Merlino. I pay tribute to him and thank him for his amazing work and all he has done, and his great loyalty and support to me at a personal level. But JA is just outstanding and it is fitting that the caucus have elected her unopposed.

Analysis: Daniel Andrews’ dilemma after losing four ministers

The next crop of Victorian government ministers to lead Labor’s re-election push is set to be decided, as premier Daniel Andrews lobbies for the party to break with convention.

The Victorian Labor caucus is meeting to confirm the make-up of its cabinet after the resignation of MPs James Merlino, Martin Foley, Lisa Neville and Martin Pakula from their high-profile portfolios.

Current agriculture and regional development minister Mary-Anne Thomas will become health minister, while corrections minister Natalie Hutchins will pick up the education portfolio.

It is expected to be the Andrews government’s final cabinet reshuffle before the November election, with new ministers likely to be sworn in early next week.

NSW residents urged to ensure they have working smoke alarms

NSW residents are being urged to check they have a working smoke alarm after a horror start to the winter, AAP reports.

Five people have died since the start of June in house fires, a toll already higher than last year’s total.

So far firefighters have attended 202 house fires across NSW with 42% of those homes not having a working smoke alarm and another 16 per cent without one entirely.

Fire and Rescue NSW deputy commissioner Megan Stiffler reminded people that firefighters can check a household’s smoke alarms and replace them at no cost:

It’s also a great opportunity to ask for advice from the experts on how you can keep yourself and your family warm but safe.

Our firefighters are dedicated to protecting the irreplaceable but it’s important everyone takes steps to safeguard their homes from the threat of fire, especially during winter.

Three of the five fatalities are still under investigation with investigators finding a faulty fridge behind the deaths of an elderly couple earlier this month.

Emergency services minister Steph Cooke said there was a simple precaution that people could take to keep themselves safe: having a working smoke alarm.

Fire can engulf a home in a matter of minutes and while smoke won’t wake you up, a smoke alarm will, which could be the difference between life and death.

This is a lovely tale about a remarkable transformation from Philippa Duncan:

Victoria eases mask mandates and lifts Covid restrictions

Mask mandates have been relaxed in Victoria, AAP reports:

Victorians no longer have to wear masks inside airports as Covid restrictions are lifted across the state.

Select vaccine mandates have also been scrapped, including third dose requirements for staff in education, food distribution, meat and seafood processing and quarantine settings.

However they remain for health workers and those in emergency services.

School staff previously placed on leave without pay for not being fully vaccinated are now free to return to work. Under the new rules, parents will not be informed of a staff member’s vaccination status.

Victorian health minister Martin Foley says the changes are minor and progressive, and have been implemented sensibly.

Employers will set their own requirements around vaccines.

Rules requiring people to work from home if they’re not double-dosed have also been lifted and aged care and disability care visitor caps have been removed.

Positive cases still need to isolate for seven days from the day they took their test but may now leave home to drive a household member directly to or from education or work.

With case numbers continuing to rise during winter, Australia’s chief medical officer Paul Kelly is urging people to get their boosters, along with the flu vaccine:

The flu vaccine [is] very important now, and right across Australia, that’s been made free for most people, but particularly those who are vulnerable of severe flu...

That includes young kids, actually. That’s a difference to the Covid message. We need to increase that flu shot as well.

70% of the eligible population have received their booster.

Once you’ve had a morning coffee or three, Graham Readfearn has an energy quiz for you (I both enjoyed and nailed it):

Australians should have faith in ‘narrow path’ back from inflation, RBA governor says

If Australians don’t have faith in the Reserve Bank’s promise of a “narrow path” to avoid recession, they could end up being the cause of one, the central bank’s governor Philip Lowe has warned, according to a report from AAP.

If people start worrying that the path back from 5% inflation to a more normal level is unrealistic, it might push the economy into a downward spiral, he says.

Australians are copping increasing costs of living as inflationary pressures rise, leading to higher prices at the supermarket and made worse by high fuel and gas prices.

The national minimum wage also recently rose, a move that’s hoped to ease the financial burden on households. Lowe told a central bankers meeting in Zurich on Friday:

There is a path to have inflation come down without the economy having too much pain, but it’s a narrow path.

But if people start to worry that we can’t show that credible path back ... to two to three per cent inflation ... then I think that shift in psychology could be quite persistent. And we know where that ends – it ends in persistent inflation and then you’ve got to have much higher interest rates and an economic downturn to get inflation back down.

'It just stuns me': Joe Biden on the overturning of Roe v Wade

US president Joe Biden is calling on Americans to vote for officials who will restore abortion rights. This is how he described the overturning of Roe v Wade earlier:

So extreme that women could be punished for protecting their health.

So extreme that women and girls who are forced to bear their rapist’s child – of the child of consequence.

It’s a – it just – it just stuns me.

So extreme that doctors will be criminalised for fulfilling their duty to care.

Imagine having a young woman having to carry the child of incest – as a consequence of incest. No option.
